Beowulf oval stubby

Id leave the cat in, very little gain to take it out.

Get a tail tidy asap as well, it will improve the look of your bike no end.

Tail tidy is on the list, but might be worth getting crash bungs first, suppose crash bungs would have been more practical in a way than getting the can but i got a bit giddy. As for the cat, would it make it a bit noisier do ya think or would it be much of a muchness?

Cheers

I left mine in on my sv, my scorpion sounded ace with the baffle in or out

it would make it louder, just like sticking a decat pipe on a car makes them all sound like Ferrari's

As people have mentioned removing the cat, the thought of it was tickin round my head so thought id do it.. nothing to lose kinda thing, all seemed to go alright but theres a ring of metal that wont come out, all the honeycomb stuffs gone but it looks like this bit doesnt want to move, ive leathered it with hammers and screwdrivers and its well stuck in place, it doesnt appear to be welded in place etc.. does this seem normal? it looks a bit tidier than it does in this pic, but its just annoying that its there.

i just left mine in as it was to much trouble to get out.

looks like you have managed to push it further in which means it must be 'loose' or more lodged.

i'd be tempted to leave it and tidy up the edges with a dremmel.

or you could try and find a long piece of suitable steel rod put a small bend in one end then a larger one at the other and use as a puller but hinting it with a hammer (bit like a dent puller idea)

on a side note did you leave the lambda sensor in the same place as it is now while you were busy having fun with the hammer?

Lambda sensor was just kinda swinging where it is while the cat got abused, ive been on a decent run today though and it all seems alright so hopefully no harm done. i got a bit of something bent behind that steel collar and tried pulling but it wouldnt move, ive just cleaned it up and think ill leave it where it is for now. All seems well and is sounding pretty sweet though .

Cheers

Looking good dude!

I have the same exhaust on my Black pointy..............Love the sound of it!

that black ring bit is there on mine as well, im going to try and remove it with a dremel

Just be careful not to lose the front end whilst in the damp. I did and the lovely looking Beowulf got trashed, having been on the bike for approx three hours!!

Bugger.
Hope yours stays looking sweet.
